I'm hearing 100+ Apaches are to be ordered within the next 3 years for the IAF and IA.https://www.facebook.com/parrikar.manohar/
Foundation for largest defence FDI JV of TATA-Boeing to make fuselage for Apache Helicopter laid today at Hyderabad. #MakeInIndia
Numbers are to be 84-114. But IA will have a bigger lot.I'm hearing 100+ Apaches are to be ordered within the next 3 years for the IAF and IA.
By 2030 the IA and IAF should have 400-500 attack helos (Apache and LCH) along with another 150-200 Rudras considering there are about 20-30 Mi-25s in service now this is a MASSIVE jump in firepower over a relatively short period.Numbers are to be 84-114. But IA will have a bigger lot.
That much fire power is atleast needed of we dream of possessing the capability of doing a blitzkrieg on two fronts.By 2030 the IA and IAF should have 400-500 attack helos (Apache and LCH) along with another 150-200 Rudras considering there are about 20-30 Mi-25s in service now this is a MASSIVE jump in firepower over a relatively short period.
It will happen in time.....That much fire power is atleast needed of we dream of possessing the capability of doing a blitzkrieg on two fronts.
The bigger thing for me will be that we start building important blocks of such systems at home with quality. Cannons for Aircrafts and Rotary Wing gunships means we depend upon Russia and France. I may be wrong but I haven't seen any thoughts about it.Except an article back in 2016 which said that GIAT offered to, co develop us a 20-25mm canon.
The next thing is ejection seats , Martin Baker Zero Zero has made a great reputation for itself , I am ok even if we start licence producing it.
Then comes the question about power plants. The miniscule amount we spend and how we hope to yield great results form them is ridiculous.
Its like some random nation in Africa without a national budget of more than 1 billion USD telling that we will we prosperous and at the same time have our own formidable air force and navy in a decade..... which is impossible.
It pained me when last week some one pointed out that even if we made the Basic Trainer, its engine is still imported while we dream of building fighter jets with our own engine.
The most important thing is our speed , it makes Sloths speed look like that of Ferrari.

MKI has a higher Service ceiling as a general comment, but it depends on the load out.HI @Abingdonboy ; @PARIKRAMA @MilSpec @randomradio
